All Aboard for Glacier!

This year’s Spring for Glacier fundraiser theme pays tribute to Glacier National Park’s vivid railroad past. You are invited to join Glacier National Park’s four non-profit partners at Lake McDonald Lodge for a fun-filled evening on Friday, May 18, 2012. This event will benefit the Park’s four partners - Glacier Institute, the Glacier Association, the Glacier National Park Associates and the Glacier National Park Fund – as they support Glacier National Park.

Spring for Glacier launches the 2012 summer season in Glacier National Park. The event begins with a reception at the historic Belton Chalet in West Glacier at 4 p.m. with cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and ticket sales for the Golden Ticket Raffle – with the winner announced later in the evening at the Live Auction. Between 5:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. all guests can ride a historic Red Bus to Lake McDonald Lodge - where the festivities continue until 10 p.m. The activities at the Lodge include a varied selection of hors d’oeuvres, wines and micro brews along with scenic boat rides, entertainment by David Walburn, original art works by local artists, a silent and a live auction.

Boat tours will be provided by Glacier Park Boat Company with a park naturalist on board to talk about the history and wildlife around Lake McDonald.

The Silent Auction includes a variety of Glacier and Montana related gifts and products. It starts at 5:30 p.m. in the grand dining room and closes at 7:45 p.m.

We hope you can join us for this exciting and fun-filled evening benefiting Glacier National Park’s four partners. The cost is $125 per person. Tickets are limited and must be purchased in advance. To purchase your ticket for Spring for Glacier or for further information, please call 406-888-9039.
